introduction of moisture into the control panel
behind the bezels. To replace knobs, align the
“D-shaped” opening at the bottom of the knob
with the “D-shaped” valve shaft, then carefully
press the knob onto the valve.
IMPORTANT:
1. Turn the knobs to the “OFF” position
prior to removing them from the valve
stems.
2. The cooktop should never be operated
without the knobs in place.
3. Do not soak the knobs in water or place
them in the dishwasher.
4. Do not expose the knobs to direct
flame, hot utensils, or other sources of
heat.
5. Do not use abrasive or corrosive
cleaners or applicators, as these could
cause permanent damage.
Single Burner Bases
The single burner base is permanently attached
to the cooktop. The base should be wiped clean
using a soft cloth or sponge that has been
lightly dampened with warm water and hand
dishwashing liquid.
Burner Heads
The brass burner heads spread the flame evenly
around the burner perimeters. The burner heads
must seat properly in the burner bases or cross
rings to enable proper cooktop operation. To
ensure proper seating, positioning tabs have
been placed on the bottom of each burner ring
to slide into corresponding notches in the fixed
burner base.
To remove the burner head, first remove the
grate. The burner head may then be removed
from the burner base. Soak the burner ring in a
warm solution of hand dishwashing liquid and
water, then rinse well with clean water. Dry the
burner thoroughly before placing it back on the
burner base or cross ring.
Stubborn stains may be removed by applying
a metal polishing compound such as Luneta
or Flitz. (If you are unable to locate this type of
polishing compound, please phone the DACOR
Customer Service Department for a referral.)
Burner Igniters
Under certain cooking or cleaning conditions,
your cooktop igniters may become coated
with or corroded by food deposits, splattered
grease or cleaning agents. This condition can
cause erratic or continuous sparking. Keeping
the igniters clean and dry will help to reduce
this problem. To avoid unnecessary and costly
service calls, the homeowner should perform
periodic cleaning of the igniters. An Igniter
Cleaning Brush is enclosed for your use in
cleaning the cooktop igniters.
To clean the igniters:
1. Be sure burners are cool to the touch.
Remove the grate, burner cap and burner
heads.
2. Brush completely around the igniter,
including over and under the edge of
the metal cap and base. Use care while
cleaning here. Parts of the igniter are
porcelain and can be fragile.
3. DO NOT USE WATER when cleaning the
igniters. If a liquid must be used to clean
the igniter effectively, use only a small
amount of rubbing alcohol.
4. After cleaning, reinstall the burner head,
head cover, burner cap cover, burner cap
and grate. Make sure caps on dual burners
are properly seated into the burner base.
5. Test the burners. If erratic clicking is still
present, make sure the igniter is completely
dry. If the unit still exhibits problems after
drying, call your local DACOR Authorized
Servicer.
Burner Covers
Dual Burner Cross Rings
The dual burner skirts and cross rings are
removable from the cooktop. The skirts should
be wiped clean using a soft cloth or sponge that
has been lightly dampened with warm water and
hand dishwashing liquid. The igniters, located
in the burner base, should be wiped clean
using a soft cloth, or sponge, that has been
lightly dampened with warm water and hand
dishwashing liquid.
For this surface, nonabrasive cleaners should
be used. First, try hot, soapy water and the soft
side of a sponge to clean the burner covers.
Then, proceed to the oven cleaners for tougher
stains.
Recommended cleaners are Easy-Off Fume-
Free or Mr. Muscle. Spray the cleaner onto
a soft cloth and rub onto the part. Leave the
cleaner on for about 30 minutes, wipe clean,
then rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a
soft cloth.
